Some of you folks have probably read a post or two of mine,about Pookie, (Casper) my buddy DJ's Umbee.
I visit them a lot.. Pookie is kept in a large cage in a separate bedroom.
She has a swing...ONE perch,and ONE toy (she destroys everything in minutes says DJ..well DUHHHH that's what 'too's do!!)
She has a big bowl of water,and a SEED bowl ( won't eat anything else according to DJ) He eats a lot of pasta,easy to fix,and cheap,and Pookie likes the pasta with sauce..and gets the occasional banana.
She does get a lot of "out" time..never when I'm there..he says she goes nuts when strangers are there,screaming like someone is going to kill her..he said it took over two years for his then-girlfriend to even get Pook to step up.
Every time I go to visit,I go in her room and softly talk to her..she gets all big bird on me..hisses..clicks her beak and dances back and forth from foot to foot. I offer her a nutraberry but wont take it.
The poor girl had her left eye removed,hanging,from her "mate" Scooter a few years back. The vet was able to put it back in her head but she is blind in that eye now.
She is fully clothed but is ragged looking..looks like I do when I just got out of bed lol.
She screams..ALOT! DJ just had surgery on his foot,had a bone chip removed,after fighting with workers compensation for over 1.5 years,and because of his job ( an inspector for 28 years at pratt&whitney aircraft) and the walking he has to do with the job,his foot got even more damaged,cutting a tendon almost in half..a 1.5 hour surgery took almost five hours and an eight week recovery is now five or six months
I understand him hurting,being in pain etc..but the way he treats that poor bird when she starts up! He screams at her,threatens her with a broom handle..squirts her in the face with a water bottle..puta her in her "pookie crate" and puts her in the bathtub!!! ( he claims she likes it..does her "pookie scratching" to the papers and makes cute.quiet little sounds)
Sometimes she wakes him at 5am with her screaming..other times she lets him sleep.
When she is "good"..she is "good"...she obviously loves him.lets him cuddle with her,gives him kisses..wants to be with/on him.
Sighhhh...why do I care about this bird so much...I have my own kids to worry about
When I tell him "its NEVER the birds fault" he glares at me and calls me all sorts of nasty names and tells me where to go
Even though I have had birds longer than he has...I don't know what I'm talking about.
ok..I'm done...thanks for letting me vent lol
